Unusual take on a classic story
This story follows the ups and downs of Peter Pan before the conventional stories with Wendy that we all know from Disney. Christina Henry has a knack of showing the darker side of what is a classic story. Even though it focuses on the life of children I feel like it still has a very adult feel.
I first found this amazing author when reading her book 'Alice' and have since read all of her books.
If you want to read a fantasy novel that is unusual then this is the book for you.

A timeless classic!
I hate to admit I had never seen the original Mary Poppins until today. I really loved it.
While not made for a 47-year-old man, I found plenty to enjoy including some songs I already knew and some new ones I had never seen before. I like musicals, but am still sort of a novice at them having not seen some of the classics.
The story is a simple one; however, that does not mean it is not entertaining. I really liked it a lot.
Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke were amazing.

Amazing details
The book was given to me free by Voracious Readers Only and Claire Youmans. I genuinely enjoyed the book, it was different to my usual genre of books generally of the Stephen King and Dan Browns like.
But Claire Youmans portrayal of the characters drew me in so I needed to know what happened to Azuki and Shota in the end

Beautiful illustrations (3 more)
Dark storyline
Pick it up for a great price
Great dialogue layout
Amazing artwork but the story just didn't grip me enough.
I did enjoy this, I just felt it was lacking in depth and would have liked there to be more expansion on the characters.
The narration and dialogue could get a little confusing at times meaning I would have to backtrack which meant the momentum was lost.
overall storyline was good and the artwork complimented it greatly, but maybe not enough to keep me wanting to keep reading and reading.

I was very much behind the times with this one and only watched it last Christmas. I'd heard many times over how brilliant it was that I was almost scared to watch it as usually films fail to live up to the hype. I can't say I was completely bowled over by it but I did thoroughly enjoy it. The songs were amazing, the "Never Enough" scene actually gave me goosebumps and I kept rewinding it to watch again. That was the stand out moment for me. Not sure whether I would watch it again but I have bought the soundtrack and listen to it regularly.

Finding its feet, worth a watch
I remember loving Buffy when I watched it on TV, I was 15ish then. I recently rewatched this, I still liked it, although it does have its flaws. The characters can be annoying but this is balanced with a really good idea. Joss Whedon has created a fantastic world, it truly is amazing. This is the first season, having already watched the others I already know that it just keeps getting better and the characters less annoying. If you are new to Buffy, keep watching, the series develops a depth but it takes a couple of seasons.

Powerful film
Contains spoilers, click to show
Just came across this film as flicking through channels and lost count how many times seen this amazing film. Even as a man I can say how this story moves me and brings a whole bunch of emotions throughout the film. It's very captivating and a well told story which will live on for many many years as one of the all time greatest films of my time. Can't say enough how this film brings back so many memories and emotions yet still will watch it when ever its on.

I adore this movie and will watch it any time I happen to come across it. The Hawaiian setting is absolutely gorgeous, and the cast is terrific. Timothy Olyphant (who I will watch in anything), Steve Zahn, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez (AMAZING here). Excellent performances from Chris Hemsworth and Marley Shelton as well ("You should have given us a ride, man.")
A great thriller with a fun, twisty plot. I definitely didn't figure out who the killers were in my first viewing. Subsequent viewings are even more fun once you know the ending, as you can pick out things you may have missed the first time around.
